ForViva is procuring a Framework Agreement pursuant to which it is envisaged that contracts will be let to suppliers within the Framework for the provision of a range of print management, marketing and creative design services.

The Framework Agreement is being divided into 2 Lots as follows:

Lot 1 — Print Management;

Lot 2 — Creative Design.

Under this Lot of the Framework Agreement the following entities will have the option to call-off contracts as and when services are required:

— ForViva and any entity within the ForViva group from time to time, which currently includes City West Housing Trust (CWHT), Villages Housing Association (VHA) and ForWorks;

— Other Social Housing Providers in the UK (both those that are in existence now and those that may be in existence in the future). ‘Social Housing Provider’ for this purpose means any provider of social housing and includes, without limitation, registered housing providers, local authorities and ALMOs. A list of the current Social Housing Providers can be found by visiting https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/current-registered-providers-of-social-housing. Such Social Housing Providers will only be entitled to call off under the Framework Agreement if ForViva consents

ForViva intends to appoint no more than 5 suppliers to this Lot of the Framework Agreement following this procurement process, subject to a receipt of a sufficient number of complete and compliant bids.

Once the Framework Agreement has been set up, ForViva intends to award a contract to the supplier whose bid for a place on this Lot of the Framework scored the highest following the evaluation of bids in accordance with section 8 of the ITT (the ‘ForViva Print Management Contract’). (Note that this represents ForViva's current intention with respect to the award of the ForViva Print Management Contract. As an alternative, ForViva reserves the right to hold a mini competition amongst the framework suppliers appointed to this Lot to determine who to award the contract to, if it considers it appropriate to do so.)

For further details of the scope of the ForViva Print Management Contract and the services to be carried out under it please refer to the specification attached at Part 1 of Appendix 4 of the ITT.

It is envisaged that the ForViva Print Management Contract will last for a period of 4 years, subject to the rights of termination contained in the Contract.

Other entities which are entitled to call off under this Lot of the Framework Agreement may award print management contracts to framework suppliers appointed to this Lot from time to time during the term of the Framework by following the call off procedures set out in the Framework.

The current estimated value of the services to be called off under this Lot of the Framework over its 4 year term is 120 000 GBP. This estimated value is based solely on the estimated value of the ForViva Print Management Contract. Accordingly, bidders should note that this value may increase if other entities decide to join and call off contracts under this Lot of the Framework

Bidders should note that, under the terms of the Framework Agreement, no entity will be under any obligation to call-off with framework suppliers. .
